Type of a scam Phishing

I answered the phone & a man on the other end said, "Hi! This is [name?] from customer service... uh, can you hear me okay?" He sounded very friendly & charismatic. I was distracted, not paying attention, and I responded, "yes." There was a pause & then he said, "Great! You've been preselected for..." At that point I realized that it was likely that scam I'd heard about, and I hung up the phone.

"Josh from customer service" asked if I could hear him ok, and I said yes. Then I immediately remembered seeing on Facebook a warning about recording you saying yes to use in a scam for proving old to purchase something, and I hung up.

said he was from customer service & asked if I could hear him. I said yes, then he offered me a free vacation to Disney World. At that point I knew I had been scammed & I said "go to hell" & I hung up. I called the number on my caller ID & a message said that the survey was closed & if I wanted to get on the do not call list to press 9, which I did only to see the message on the ScamPulse.com web site that I shouldn't have done that.

Now I have to wait to see what happen next. I did not give him any account numbers or names.

The Can You Hear Me Scam, came thru on my company phone and I was distracted and said YES prior to realizing what was going on so I answered their other 2 questions NO and then they hung up.

Same type of scam as the "Can you hear me" scam only the question being asked is "I would like to speak to the homeowner, are you (said my name). I responded with "Speaking". They then kept asking questions that would normally be answered with a yes or no under the disguise of being energy efficient because of the carbon tax/footprint. They said my address and wanted me to confirm. This is when I terminated the call. We have received a total of four calls of this type within a half hour.

Received phone call stated "This is josh from the customer service department, can you hear me Ok?" I responded "Yes" there was a pause and then continued "Ok good you've been preselected to win a vacation " and that's when I hung up. I believe it to be the "can you hear me" scam that I read about.

My cell phone rang, I answered. The person said this is customer service can you hear me? I thought it was someone from my work since I was out on a work site visit, and when I said yes, they hung up. When I called the number back, it said the survey was now closed and the call ended. The number did show on my caller ID. It was 314-627-1434.

They were so fast and said this is Josh from Customer Service can you hear me. It was a real person or so it sounded and without thinking I said, "yes." I knew about this scam and didn't even think, just answered. They continued and I hung right up after I knew it was a scam in 5 seconds, but I already said yes.
